Pioneering US-based Canoo Inc’s versatile electric vehicle experience arrives at Bicester Motion

Canoo Inc, a US-based company which has created revolutionary multi-purpose platforms and digital ecosystems that are transforming the automotive industry for the entire vehicle lifecycle, has selected Bicester Motion as its UK commercial operations and activation centre.

Canoo was established in 2017 and has developed breakthrough electric vehicles with pioneering technologies, unique design, and business model that spans multiple owners across the full lifecycle of a vehicle. It has teams in California, Texas, Oklahoma, and Michigan and supplies large commercial fleets in the US, UK and Middle East with both right-hand and left-hand drive products.

Canoo has leased an office at Bicester Motion for its UK team in Building 108, along with vehicle storage facilities in Historit, the on-site managed car storage for historic, classic and modern motorcars and motorcycles, and event activation services at the estate’s Scramble events.

The UK opening will enable the company to leverage the wide-ranging talent in surrounding Motorsport Valley and focus on the plug-in van grant (PIVG) to drive demand and reach the UK government’s zero-emissions goals. Canoo has recently announced its partnership with The AA in the UK for premium roadside assistance services to commercial and government customers.

“We warmly welcome and relish the opportunity for technology pioneers to join our community to positively shape the future of mobility. Over the last decade, we have built a world-leading community for more than 50 disruptive mobility leaders, manufacturers, innovators and change-makes who have a shared passion to deliver the mobility solutions we need for tomorrow. Canoo shares our vision and we are pleased to provide them with a dedicated centre of excellence from which they can launch their UK operation and establish another international marque at Bicester Motion.” Daniel Geoghegan, chief executive officer, Bicester Motion

Bicester Motion will serve as Canoo’s future operations, customer and activation centre to provide a dynamic base for its commercial efforts across the UK and Europe.
